LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jason Alexander has it on good authority that his job as co-host of the People’s Choice Awards on Sunday is unlikely to have a big payoff.

“My good friend Jerry Seinfeld had the greatest quote, and it’s so true. He said these things are a no-win situation: If you really screw it up, you’re a complete jerk. If it goes brilliantly, all you get is they ask you to do it again,” Alexander said.

He’ll share the adventure of hosting with Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who stars with Alexander in the new CBS sitcom “Listen Up.”

Scheduled presenters at the ceremony airing 9 p.m. EST Sunday on CBS include Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, Ellen DeGeneres, Josh Duhamel, William Shatner and Prince.

Alexander (“Seinfeld”) said he and Warner (“The Cosby Show”) have roughed out an approach but know it’s the awards that count, not the hosts. Unexpected reactions from winners are welcome.

“The more spontaneous and real that these things (awards shows) become, the more memorable they are,” he said.

The awards’ 31st ceremony will include new categories, including favorite movie, movie drama, smile and cartoon star.

The nomination and awards process, formerly based on a national poll, has been revised to be compiled by Entertainment Weekly, the People’s Choice production team and pop culture fans. The public chose the winners online.
